Frequently asked
Who was Pharaoh Akhenaten and when did he rule Egypt?
Akhenaten ruled Egypt from about 1353 to 1336 BCE during the 18th Dynasty. Originally named Amenhotep IV, he changed his name to honor the Aten sun god and became known as the 'heretic pharaoh' for his revolutionary religious beliefs.
What made Akhenaten's worship of the Aten so revolutionary?
Akhenaten abandoned Egypt's thousands of traditional gods to worship only the Aten, making him possibly the world's first monotheist ruler. This radical change shocked ancient Egyptian society, which had worshipped multiple gods for over 2,000 years.
What was the Aten and how was it depicted in Egyptian art?
